...before submitting to MacFixit.<br><br>First, make sure you've saved any open work. Close all running applications.<br><br>Open up your Keyboard Preference panel.<br><br>Click on the "Modifier keys..." button.<br><br>Change "CapsLock" key to "Nothing."<br><br>When I do this, my entire system freezes, forcing a Power Button shut down.<br><br>I'd like to know if this happens to others, and then send a report to MacFixit it it does.<br><br>

why send a report to MacFixit? send one to apple along with a system profile of your computer and so on.<br><br>sending bugs to someone other than the maker of the software is just wrong.<br><br>BTW, this works find for me.<br><br>What language are you using?<br><br>what Keyboard are you using?<br><br><br><br>

Thanks so much to all of you for taking the time to test this and supply feedback. ([color:RED]And to Alec: Are you saying it happens to your system as well? If so, you're the only other person to confirm it so far.</FONT>).<br><br>The first time it happened to me last night, I had a bunch of applications open, and I had installed several apps and hadn't yet repaired permissions. So, I did my usual maintenance routines, did a full shut down and restart, then tried again with no applications open.<br><br>I was able to make it happen 3 more times.<br><br>I'll need to dig a little more today, and try disconnecting all peripherals and try again using only Apple's keyboard and mouse instead of my MacAlly K.B. and Logitech Cordless optical mouse.<br><br>Thanks again for your attention to this.<br><br>And to Nutty: My reason for posting to MacFixit? Because the site receives a LOT of traffic. And of course I'll send any info I gather about the problem to Apple...that goes without saying.<br><br>

I assume you've logged in as Root to test it there, or create another user account - any way to test on a clean account to see if it is in fact a problem with the OS, or simply a conflict with something else you have installed.<br><br><br><br>CreativeGuy: For your "fix" of design software tips, tricks & commentary.

I spent a long day yesterday trying to find a solution for my busted scroll wheel problem, and I discovered the freeze at about 3:00 am. Haven't tried logging in under my bare-bones troubleshooting account yet.<br><br>
